0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Kassensuche GmbH operates a German-language online portal focused on helping users find and compare statutory health insurance providers (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) in Germany. The website offers multiple tools including a contribution calculator, user-type based search, and detailed benefit comparisons. The portal targets insured individuals in Germany seeking optimal health insurance options. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript modules, jQuery, and lazy loading techniques to enhance performance and user experience. The site is hosted with reputable DNS providers and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure connections. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by adding security headers and explicit incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially met with a clear privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche market.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention kassensuche.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business model centers on providing comprehensive, user-friendly comparison tools for statutory health insurance in Germany, generating value through user engagement and possibly affiliate or advertising partnerships, as indicated by embedded ads from DAK and links to Maklerservice. The company is small-sized, focused on healthcare sector, and maintains a consistent brand presence. The portal's market position is strong within its niche, supported by detailed content and editorial recommendations. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests a preference for contact via forms or linked pages. The partnership ecosystem includes major health insurers and broker services, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and secure AJAX logging mechanisms. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of public security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. GDPR compliance is partially addressed but could be enhanced with cookie consent and clearer data retention policies. The use of third-party scripts should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but should evolve to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with ES6 JavaScript modules, jQuery, and lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site structure is semantic with meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. Hosting is via domaincontrol.com nameservers, indicating use of GoDaddy services. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and performance optimizations such as caching and minification. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for modernization.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
